Satellos Presents Interim SAT-3247 Clinical and Biomarker Data in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at the 2026 MDA Clinical & Scientific Conference

MSCL · Price

Executive Summary

  • Satellos presented interim efficacy observations from its Phase 2 TRAILHEAD study showing continued hand‑grip strength gains and stable elbow/shoulder strength in adult DMD participants.
  • Proteomic analysis of the completed 28‑day CL‑101 Phase 1a/b trial revealed reductions in established DMD biomarkers (AK1, CA3, ENO3, MB, ANKRD2) within two weeks of SAT‑3247 dosing.
  • Preclinical mouse studies demonstrated significant muscle‑strength improvements in a model of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), supporting broader therapeutic potential.

Key Details

  • TRAILHEAD Phase 2 (adult DMD):
  • Hand‑grip strength continued to increase versus CL‑101 baseline.
  • Elbow and shoulder strength remained stable through Day 56 after re‑enrollment.
  • Participants with higher baseline muscle mass showed greater strength improvements.

  • CL‑101 Phase 1a/b (28‑day DMD cohort):

  • Serum proteomic profiling of >11,000 proteins identified consistent biomarker reductions after two weeks of SAT‑3247.
  • Biomarkers decreased: AK1, CA3, ENO3, MB, ANKRD2.
  • Changes observed across all evaluated participants with comparable magnitude.

  • Regeneration Index (RI) Tool:

  • Novel RI based on established biomarkers was presented; now being applied in the ongoing BASECAMP pediatric study to assess muscle regeneration.

  • Preclinical FSHD Mouse Model:

  • Twelve‑week dosing of SAT‑3247 produced statistically significant enhancements in muscle strength versus control.
  • Findings suggest applicability of SAT‑3247 beyond DMD.

  • Conference Presentation:

  • Two oral presentations and three poster sessions delivered at the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Clinical & Scientific Conference, Orlando, FL.

  • Future Plans:

  • Continued enrollment in TRAILHEAD and BASECAMP studies.
  • Additional clinical outcome assessments ongoing; full data to be posted on Satellos’ Events & Presentations page.

Notable Quotes

“Seeing continued improvements in handgrip strength and the addition of new muscle measurements by dynamometry is both positive and encouraging.” – Frank Gleeson, Co‑founder & CEO, Satellos Bioscience

“Participants with greater baseline muscle mass are demonstrating greater improvements in strength, further supporting our strategy of evaluating SAT‑3247 earlier in disease progression.” – Wildon Farwell, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Satellos
